  • The Mummy Makeover – How Not to Hate Your Clothes

    If you've ever stood in front of your wardrobe thinking "Nothing here feels like me anymore", this episode is for you.

    I'm joined by the brilliant Louise Walker from How Not to Hate Your Clothes—a colour and confidence coach helping mums rediscover their identity (and style) through what they wear.

    We dive into why so many women feel lost in their wardrobes after motherhood, how your clothes might be chipping away at your confidence without you even realising, and how colour analysis can be a total game changer.

    Louise shares why it's not about following trends or shrinking into black leggings forever—but about reconnecting to yourself and how you want to feel.

    From the psychology behind colour to the first thing she tells every mum to buy post-colour analysis (spoiler: it's not what you think), this episode is packed with simple, doable ways to feel more like YOU again.

    Whether you're running errands or hiding in the loo for five minutes of peace—you'll leave this chat feeling inspired to make getting dressed joyful again.

    🎧 Tune in to hear:

    • Why we feel lost in our style post-baby
    • What colour analysis actually is—and how it works
    • The emotional weight hiding in your wardrobe
    • The link between colour, confidence, and showing up for yourself
    • Why your pyjamas matter more than you think

    🛍️ PS: We even chat about how your wardrobe habits could be saying "you don't deserve to feel good"—and how to rewrite that script.

  • Lost, Stuck or Just on Pause? Finding Direction After Motherhood with Liz from EJF Coaching

    What if that "stuck" feeling you've been carrying isn't failure—but a sign it's time to pivot?

    In this heartfelt episode, I'm joined by lifestyle and confidence coach Liz Francis, founder of EJF Coaching, who helps mums rediscover who they are after becoming "mum."

    We chat about the emotional rollercoaster of trying to juggle work, kids, and identity, and how to recognise when it's time to shake things up.

    We talk honestly about what it means to feel lost, why guilt sneaks in when we start doing something just for us, and the little mindset shifts that can spark big changes.

    From time audits to tiny habit stacking, glass balls vs. plastic balls (trust me, you'll want to remember this analogy), and how to reconnect with what lights you up—this is your nudge to stop running on autopilot and come back to you.

    What you'll hear:

    • Why identity loss is so common after becoming a mum

    • How to tell if you're stuck—or just need a small tweak

    • Managing mum guilt when investing time into yourself

    • Practical ways to carve out space for new dreams and goals

    • How small steps can lead to big pivots (without sacrificing your sanity!)

    If you've been feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, let this be your sign.

    🎧 Hit play and start reclaiming your spark.
